Democracy down the drain...is it?????

Where is our Democratic system leading to?
We are supposed to be the largest democracy, but why are the politicians trying to make it the most corrupt too?

The new CM of Maharashtra takes the cake. We have seen pics of politicians distributing money and caught on camera. But he announced five lakh each for the three villages which gave him the most votes. Though he says it is for the developmental purposes, but did nobody tell him that this is a blatant bribe.

Moreover being the CM, did nobody tell him that he is now supposed to look after the whole of the state and rise above being just an MLA....i.e. just looking after his own constituency.


But finally the truth will be seen in the next elections, if he is elected again, then we deserve these type only.

Can we all rise up to the demands of our democracy and save it .What we do today will be our legacy for our children too. Lets think this way , coz this will only save our country and our future too.


JAI HIND!!!!

 

Dear Shanvy
Thanks for leaving an elaborate fb.
Its right that we as a nation have come to a point where we feel that we should leave all, and let it happen as it is going. But still when I sit back after reading or hearing these incidents , my first thought is how can I make a difference. At this moment, due to small children, who need my full attention, I am doing what ever little is possible. By talking to others, trying to make people aware of their rights, and duties too.
As a citizen of a democracy, I feel this is also a part of our duty to clean up what ever way we can. Others will not come over and clean our house.

 

Dear Manjula
Thanks for visiting and leaving an fb.
What you wrote is true, they spend so much of money on these things, but you know what happens. These bills are inflated, and include the CUT for the politician too.
As they pass the bills themselves, they do it easily.
These things come out in the open only when some opposing guy gets the news and leaks it. Just like the mining case going on nowdays, which came out in the open by a hacker, who was hired by the one's who gave money but their work was not done.
Thus this is a pit, where all goes in...it is rightly said that there is enough for everyone's need , but not for anybody's greed.
